Great app! I'm gonna enjoy using this. Btw, for all of you that are having trouble with calibration, go into settings and turn off sensor aiding to your GPS. Then go back into the app and do the calibration for a minute or two. Should fix you right up.

Said my tv was a Starbucks? In public I was in Seattle and it didn't get anything right? I give it the score cuz it could be user error, I doubt it considering it was multiple ppl trying to make it work. And at the end of the day the amount of fail provided a good laugh lol
